The constant coughing could cause muscle strain and chestpain. Sometimes the pleura, the lining of the chest cavity and lungs can get inflamed causing pain with coughing. This should resolve as the infection and inflammation subside. However, if the pain persists or if you develop additional symptoms like fever or cough consult your doctor for an assessment. In the meantime you can take OTC pain medication Ibuprofen. Ensure to take this medication after food to avoid gastritis.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, chronic cough with chestpain needs to be examined. A cough is generally a result of an irritant such as stomach acid (gastric reflux), mucus (asthma), hair spray, perfume, dust, pollen, mold, even spicy food, post nasal drip, or infection. It could also be due to infection such as pneumonia or bronchitis. Chronic sore throats can be allergic, viral or bacterial in origin.

Last year I developed a very bad cough, I was coughing so bad, my chest was in constant pain, my head would throb, I was prescribed everything to relieve my cough, nothing worked.

Hi,
Has a chest xray been done to rule out any rib fracture, chest infection, or air in the pleural space?
There could be several causes of the symptoms you are having including a muscle pull, injury or trauma at the site, chest infection, gall stones, etc.
Do you have any associated symptoms?
You should apply some local pain relief medications, take some oral pain relief medications, maintain a proper posture throughout the day, try some warm compresses.

The constant coughing could cause muscle strain and chestpain. Sometimes the pleura, the lining of the chest cavity and lungs can get inflamed causing pain with coughing referred to as pleuritis. With your symptoms it is likely that the bronchitis has caused consequent pleurisy. Therapy lies in treating the underlying cause and pain killers. So, continue with your medications and take OTC naproxen for relief from pain.

It's unusual for your chest to be tender when you swallow, that suggests pain in your esophagus, the tube leading to your stomach. Acid reflux sometimes causes discomfort there, but isn't associated with head pain, although it's sometimes associated with throat pain.

Anytime there is chestpain present it can be alarming due to the possibility of cardiac problems. But, in your case, I would lean toward respiratory or gastro-intestinal issues. The persistent cough, along with the possible presence of lingering congestion, could be causing your upper airways and throat to be inflamed and sore. Also, there could be a possibility of a hiatal hernia. Frequent or hard coughing is a risk factor. I hope that you will consider seeing a physician. Good luck.

Your symptoms are not specific, but any chestpain should be checked out. Chest XR can show many things, but not heart pain. An EKG would be advisable as a baseline test. If anything else shows up the doctor will follow that up. Don't delay this.
